Actor Jang Geun-suk will continue to attend the military conscription program starting from July 16th, even though he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

On Friday (6/7), in an official statement, the Tree J Company agency that manages Jang Geun-suk confirmed that this star was going to enroll in the army.

“Jang Geun-suk was set to become a level 4 soldier because he suffered from bipolar disorder while undergoing a physical examination conducted by the Military Labor Administration. He will begin his military obligations on July 16th. Therefore, he plans to become a public servant staff for two years,” said the Tree J Company statement, published by Osen via Nate.

The agency also mentioned that Jang Geun-suk did not want to broadcast information about himself following the army, for fear of commotion and troublesome people. Even so, the drama star of the Switch, according to his agency, wants to personally inform fans who have supported him and have been by his side for 27 years. “After he wrote a message on his website, we will release an official statement, so we ask for a bit of understanding of this late notice.”

“Jang Geun-suk was first diagnosed with bipolar disorder at a campus hospital in 2011 and was constantly asked to be retested on every physical exam after this. The actor never asked to postpone the registration, he was always loyal to the demands of the Military Labor Association for the retest, recently, he received a notice from the army as a level 4 public servant staff.”

The results of the physical exam category, said Tree J Company, are private information. However, because so far many parties thought that Jang Geun-suk was always delaying taking part in the military program, the agency had to reveal it.

“Jang Geun-suk knows very well that he can exist and grow thanks to the interests and love of fans. Although this is a very personal problem, we think it is our responsibility to inform the public clearly,” they wrote.

The agency also said that the actor has tried to recover from this mental disorder and has worked hard to find balance in life while experiencing the side effects from this process.

“He apologizes for not being able to get satisfactory results. Jang Geun-suk will get basic training as a public servant staff on July 16th, and complete alternative military services for two years. He will faithfully complete whatever tasks he receives with responsibility.”

“We will try our best so he can come back healthier and more mature. Thank you,” they closed.

Jang Geun-suk got some negative comments regarding his duty to carry out military service. As is known, the handsome actor born in 1987 was confirmed to be a public worker because of his bipolar disorder.

Instead of getting support, Jang Geun-suk was actually flooded with negative comments. Netter accused the star of the drama Switch of using his bipolar disorder syndrome to avoid the army as an active soldier. This is was brought about by the fact that the agency revealed the news just before his army enrollment.

Following netter criticism, Tree J Company as the agency responded to questions about Jang Geun-suk’s mental health and conspiracy issues in an episode of One Night of Entertainment, on Tuesday (10/7). “What is clear, is that he does not want to embarrass himself or make the disease visible,” said the agency.

“However, people continue to be curious about the conspiracy problem, so we decided to announce it to the public as a form of courtesy,” the agency continued. The statement from Jang Geun-suk’s agency certainly became the spotlight of the netter. Instead of dampening criticism, netizens even blasphemed it.

“Absurd,” Netter commented. “I want to hit him,” added another netter. “Manners? So why didn’t you reveal it for such a long time? Why did you shoot a drama and variety show like there’s nothing wrong and suddenly you say you have a bipolar disorder when it’s time for conscription?” said another. “He’s a garbage man,” concluded another.
